Zellweger syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder, meaning both parents must carry a copy of the mutated gene for a child to be affected. If both parents are carriers, each subsequent child has a 25% chance of being affected, a 50% chance of being a carrier, and a 25% chance of being unaffected. Genetic counseling can provide more personalized information and options for family planning.
